I often need to print 1 to 25 copies of a color page. Which web sites
perform very low quantity color printing via web. I see sites that do
250 minimum but that's too much. Price should be under $100.

Are these full color?  What size paper? Glossy or flat? If you can
give a few more specifics, it will help the Researcher's get an answer
that fits your specific needs.

Yes full color. 8.5 x 11. Generally glossy. One side. No folding. No
bleed.  Corel file but Corel can export. -- swisscheese.

I realize you asked for quanitity 25, but would a location using a
Xerox DocuColor copier charging $0.49 per copy with a minimum of 50
copies ($24.50) suffice?  I will keep looking as I await your
response.

Hi tar - Yes in terms of price but I don't have an original - it's a
Corel file usually.

Swisscheese,

Thanks for your question.  You are correct that most printing jobs
through internet vendors have minimum quantities involved.  There are,
however, several businesses that will make color copies fairly
inexpensively:

ColorCopySite.com
http://www.colorcopysite.com/
$0.23 per copy for 1-49 copies 
$0.18 per copy for 50-99 copies

and they accept the following file formats:

Corel 10 
Adobe Illustrator 10
PageMaker 6.5
Photoshop 6
PageMaker 6.5
Acrobat Reader 5 
Microsoft Word
Publisher 2000 
Quark 4.1 
Macromedia Freehand 8

TopValue Printing
http://www.topvalueprinting.com/full-color-copies.html
$0.49 per copy for 50 copies and $0.19 for each copy over 50 to 99
I sent an email asking their accepted file types, but from seeing
other vendors, a Corel file should be fine.  As soon as I hear from
them, I will let you know.

ColorCopies.US
http://www.colorcopies.us/
$0.29 for 100 copies

Thanks again for your question and I hope the above information has
been helpful.  If you need any additional clarification, please let me
know prior to rating my answer.

Regards,
